Sandra,

Tell your husband to calm down. There are lots of fruitcakes who claim
that everything from the carpet on your floors to electric lines to dry
cleaning diet coke are killing us.The fact that there is no scientific
proof to back up their claims doesn't bother these alarmist chicken
littles. Yes, the sky is falling and we will all die from something.

I have been drinking diet coke for about 20 years with no ill effects.
If you are worried, I have inside information from a person who works
for Coke that they are coming out with a new version of diet coke with
the sweetener Splenda (non-aspartame). You will soon have a choice of
which version to drink.

Sadly, no pun in ten did.
